Haircuts At Hotscope

A haircut is the one service that has to work on a Tuesday morning when you are doing it yourself. Your stylist cuts to your face shape, your density and your growth pattern, then shows you how to keep the shape at home in under ten minutes.

Four Ways To Cut

Every one of these is booked as a haircut. What changes is how much is coming off and how much of the shape is being rebuilt, which your stylist agrees with you first.

  1. 01

    Trim And Dusting

    The smallest amount taken off to clear split ends and keep your existing shape sharp. The right choice when you are growing your hair and do not want to lose length.

  2. 02

    Layers And Movement

    Weight removed through the lengths so hair moves instead of sitting flat. Cut to suit your density, because the same layers behave very differently on fine and thick hair.

  3. 03

    Fringe Or Face Framing

    A fringe, curtain bangs or softer pieces around the face. Quick to cut, but the piece that changes your look the most, so it is always discussed before scissors touch it.

  4. 04

    Full Restyle

    A real change of length or shape, planned from your growth pattern up. Allow a little longer in the chair and bring photos of what you want and what you do not.

Shape Guide

Cutting To Your Face Shape

A starting point, not a rule. Your stylist works with your features, your hair type and what you actually like, and will happily talk you through why something will or will not sit the way you expect.

  • Oval

    Balanced proportions, so most lengths and shapes work. The question becomes what suits your hair type rather than your face.

  • Round

    Length past the chin, longer layers and a side parting add angles. Height at the crown helps more than width at the sides.

  • Square

    Soft layers, waves and texture round off a strong jaw. Blunt lines that finish exactly at the jaw tend to emphasise it.

  • Heart

    Width at the jaw balances a wider forehead. Chin length or longer shapes and a side swept fringe work well here.

  • Long

    Width through the mid lengths shortens the face visually. A blunt or curtain fringe does the same without losing length.

How Often To Cut

Hair grows around half an inch a month, so a shape holds for a set number of weeks rather than a set number of washes. These are the usual intervals.

  • 6 To 8Weeks, Short Shapes

    Pixies, bobs and crops lose their line first. Cutting on schedule is what keeps a short shape looking deliberate.

  • 8 To 12Weeks, Growing Out

    A dusting every couple of months keeps the ends clean while you gain length, instead of losing it to splits.

  • 6 To 8Weeks, Damaged Ends

    If ends are splitting from heat or color, cutting more often stops the split travelling further up the hair.

In The Chair

How Your Haircut Runs

About 45 minutes from sitting down to walking out, and the first part is talking, not cutting.

  1. Step 01

    Consultation

    Your stylist looks at your hair dry first, so they can see your natural fall, your parting and your growth pattern, then agrees the shape and the price with you.

  2. Step 02

    Wash And Section

    Hair is washed, combed through and sectioned, so every part of the cut is measured against the same starting point.

  3. Step 03

    The Cut

    Cut in sections and checked for balance, with the ends personalised last so the shape suits your texture rather than the scissors.

  4. Step 04

    Finish And Show

    Dried and styled, then your stylist talks you through how to get the same result at home with the tools you already own.

Keeping The Shape

  • Dry It With IntentRough drying in the direction the cut falls does most of the work. Fighting your parting undoes the shape.
  • Less Product, Placed BetterA small amount through mid lengths and ends beats a handful at the roots, which just flattens the cut.
  • Heat Protection Every TimeThe ends are the oldest part of your hair. Protecting them is what makes a cut last to the rebook date.
  • Rebook Before You LeaveBooking the next cut while you are in the salon is the simplest way to keep a shape from growing out of itself.

Good To Know

Haircut Questions

The questions clients ask most, answered straight.

How Much Is A Haircut At Hotscope?

A haircut starts from $39 and takes about 45 minutes, including the wash, the cut and a finish. Very long or thick hair can take longer, and your stylist confirms the price at the consultation before starting.

How Often Should I Get A Haircut?

Short shapes hold for about 6 to 8 weeks before they lose their line. If you are growing your hair, 8 to 12 weeks keeps the ends clean without losing length. Damaged ends usually need trimming closer to every 6 to 8 weeks.

Is A Wash And Blow Dry Included?

Yes. The wash and a finish are part of the haircut, so you see the shape properly styled before you leave rather than guessing at home.

Do You Cut Curly Hair?

Yes. Curly hair is cut to follow your curl pattern so the shape falls correctly once it dries. You can also book curly hair care for cutting plus hydration in one visit.

Will Regular Trims Make My Hair Grow Faster?

No. Hair grows from the scalp, not the ends. What trims do is stop splits travelling up the hair shaft, so you keep more of the length you grow instead of losing it to breakage.

Can I Bring A Photo Of The Cut I Want?

Please do. Two or three photos say more than a description, and one photo of a cut you do not want is just as useful. Your stylist will tell you honestly how close your hair can get.

Can I Get A Fringe Or Bangs?

Yes, and your stylist will talk through the upkeep first. A fringe grows into your eyeline within a few weeks, so it needs trimming more often than the rest of your cut.

Who Can Book A Haircut At Hotscope?

Appointments are for adult women, and every client must be at least 18 years old. Children are not permitted in the salon.
